Day One looks interesting. Unfortunately I'm sure that even if it is good, no one will watch it, and it will be another Jericho. I refuse to watch any CBS programming ever again after the way they treated that show.

Other than that it's mostly the same garbage over and over again. No one wants to take risks, even the networks that are struggling.

I love the title U.S. Attorney. I mean if that's all the effort you're going to put into it...

Chris Rock had a joke about how you had cool movie titles like Saving Private Ryan and Catch Me If You Can, but for black movies it's... Barbershop. And he was waiting for the movie Check Cashing Place.

No Heroics is a low budget show on a digital channel here in the UK... I'm not sure how well it'll translate.

A comedy about superheroes doesn't really require translation, it practically writes itself. It's not like it's an original idea to start with.

I keep wondering why networks bother to "buy" ideas they could very easily come up with themselves after ten seconds of thought. Are they really so imagination-deprived? After re-reading that sad list of pilots (cop shows/lawyer shows/doctor shows/slacker sitcoms) maybe they really are?

And they can't do it low budget if they want it to have a hope in hell of success.
